As of 10/1/2006, As-Easy-As for window was discontinued. Copies of the program can still be downloaded and FREE full licenses can be installed using the information below. TRIUS no longer supports or answers questions regarding this program, but other users visiting these forums might. Here are the links for the program and the user's manual,

Old As-Easy-As v1.6 for Windows programhttp://www.triusinc.com/old_files/asawin95.exe
Ser Num: 16-0101-2317-2 *
* You are asked for this sernum during the installation of the program. The installation prompted you to find it on the inside cover of the manual. There no manual or inside cover - THIS is the number to enter.

Ok, I see. It just seemed weird. Do you think there are any plans by TRIUS to revive these products, or are they gone forever? If they don't plan to revive them, do you think they might release the source code to forge, or something, so others may revive them?

I was using their aseasy program up until I switched to Windows 7. I wasn't able to make it run under that. Too bad, because I had many years of my accounting in it. If can ever find out how I can run it in Win 7, I'll go back in a heartbeat.

I'm trying to help a friend retrieve some spreadsheet files from an ancient version of Excel. It can save in various formats but not CSV. Gnumeric reads the native files but can't read the cells containing dates. So I thought I'd try AS-EASY-AS (having used the DOS version a long while ago).

I've downloaded asawin95.exe but when I try to run it I get an error "NTVDM.EXE has encountered a problem and needs to close".

Haven't encountered any similar problems. I've run it under all flavors of Windows XP. Currently running it on two systems, Win-XP-SP3 and Win-7, 32-bit, and I am not getting the error you mention. Also the NTVDM.EXE error is related to trying to run 16-bit programs and I am pretty sure that ASAWIN is a 32-bit one, so it shouldn't cause the problem. But then again, this is Windows, so who knows
